Abstract

A method and apparatus for networked in-store media advertising. A local media advertising system is operably coupled to a media content server (102) via a communications network (105). The system receives advertising content and an advertising content display schedule from the content server. The system displays the advertising content according to the advertising content display schedule. The system has a viewer sensor that compiles viewer data about the number of viewers and customers in the vicinity of the displayed media content. The system generates viewer information about how many viewers and customers were in the vicinity of the displayed advertising content using the viewer data and the advertising content display schedule. The system then transmits the viewer information to a statistics server (104) via the communications network (105). Advertisers can then retrieve the viewer information from the statistics server in order to monitor the effectiveness of an advertising campaign.
